I don't think I've loathed two DAYS characters more than Jennifer & Dr I Bang My Female Patients - that's during all my years of watching this show. Heck, Rafe is even better than Daniel, and I find Rafe insufferably bad usually LOL What's really laughable is the attempt by these writers to turn Daniel in Dr Tom Horton Mark 2 - frankly that's an insult to the memory of McDonald Carey. :rolleyes:Thank fucking goodness for Lucas, he's saying what a lot of us would like to tell Ms Horton Devereux right now, that she's a tramp and she obviously never really loved Jack that much.

I'm really not much of a hater. I've always been pretty zen. I figure if a couple is featured, someone must like them or they will go away. The writers try things that work, they try things that fail. Angst means storyline for the couples and characters I like, even if I don't like how it manifests. Long ago, I came to terms with the fact that the writers were never going to settle on a Sami pairing, likely because of behind the scenes wrangling.

I can't think of a couple I've actively disliked as much as I dislike Jennifer and Daniel.

I truly do think Brady and Madison had more potential and got botched because they were rushed into insta love. Poor SJB, who worked her ass off when given nearly nothing by the writers, gets fired. Matt Ashford, who is a legend on the show, gets fired.

Truly? You got rid of them to give us Daniel and Jennifer? I think they may be the worst pairing in the history of the show. And that's a field that includes Shane/Kayla and EJ/Taylor.

There's no SL for Dannifer after they have their storybook marriage - I assume that's happening in 2013, even with the Chloe complication. I can picture it now: Jennifer and Daniel standing at the altar, assuring each other that Jack is smiling down at them in heaven, and this is what he'd have wanted for his wife and his kids LOL After that, send them on a long honeymoon, never to return to Salem.

Alice herself said that Jack reminded her of Tom--and however much those two men might have differed in other respects, they were both incredibly monogamous and family men at heart. Daniel probably doesn't know how to spell monogamy, let alone practice it.

But I think what irritates me most about Dannifer as a couple are the completely unrealistic images they both have of each other. With Jennifer, it's "Oh, Daniel--you're so wonderful, amazing, perfect, and never, ever in the wrong! If you do something illegal, unethical, or immoral, it must be someone else's fault for manipulating you into it, you poor, defenseless, saintly paragon of virtue! I will turn my back on my career, my family, and everything else that mattered to me to devote myself, body and soul, to your every need and desire. I will protect, shield, and defend you from every criticism, and never leave your side--even when you tell me to get lost."

And Daniel's just as nauseating: "Oh, Jennifer, you're so good, sweet, wholesome, and cute. A perfect angel, who wouldn't hurt a fly or say an unkind word to anyone, and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. You're so selfless, you'd develop appendicitis on the spot just to prove that I can be a surgeon again. How can I ever repay such devotion?" :puke:

Honestly, these two need a major reality check about each other--except that their so-called "love" would never survive if they had one. They'd both rather live in Delusionville, pretending neither one has faults or flaws. That Jennifer hits her own brother rather than listen to his justified criticisms of Daniel and her speaks volumes about how deeply her head is buried in . . . the sand.

I might have to tune in to watch Lucus tell Jennjenn that her "perfect doctor" is a sleaze ball that only lives to chase the hospital nightgowns of his patients. She'll find out if they hookup again and Daniel gets a new female patient. Jack might not have been perfect but at least he was loyal in his affection and love. Chloe pulled "a Daniel" on the master himself and he dropped her like a hot potato.

This show is giving me a terrible potty mouth, but reading that Lucas gets slapped by Jennabitch is just to much. Jennabitch is gonna get a real eye opener when Chloe comes back to town. I hope she drags Dr Orange off with her when she leaves!

SC seems like a nice guy, but I truly wonder why Daniel has been given so many chances when Taylor, Arianna and Madison were all gotten rid of relatively quickly. I know some male characters have been gotten rid of quickly, too, but I just wonder why the writers are so invested in Daniel and seem so desperate to make him a major character.

I also wonder about that too.They brought back characters to increase rating.It was so weird they would get rid of Jack when so many fans were happy he was back,had a great story,and some fans were already having problems with Daniel.It would have been better to keep Jack with Jennifer and pair Daniel with someone else,Billie or someone else.I actually would not have minded if they had Daniel immediately refer Nicole to another doctor,played the role given to Rafe in the hide the baby story,then fall in love with Nicole.I just hated it that he had sex with her for the first time on the desk with her after she was visibly pregnant then dumped her.It's like they want to keep Daniel but don't know how to write the character so he is likeable or less hated by a significant number of fans.

I wonder that too. Especially when those who played the characters of Madison, Taylor and Arianna were far better acting wise than Shawn Christian. I have no idea why the geniuses at Days relentlessly push the character of Daniel on the audience. :shrug:

I think SC himself said that the problem with his character was that every set of writers have a different vision of what Daniel is like. The character itself has never been truly defined. MarDar were happy to have him be the playboy doctor hence the Dicole desk sex. Tomlin is determined to make him the new Tom so it's Dr Perfect who needs the Horton princess at his side hence the decision to kill off Jack. If Tomlin stays I think Dan as Salem's saviour will continue but if we have a new writing regime (please, please, please) Dan's character will change again.

It is very strange. They've gotten rid of some very good actors yet for some reason SC silll remains. Taylor, Madison, and Arianna didn't quite work in the storylines they were in, but the characters could have been salvaged it they had been given chances in other stories/pairings. Plus they are females in their early thirties which the show desperately needs more of. For example. Madison and EJ might have been an interesting couple. Also Jack was already very popular and has a long history on the show. Yet these actors/characters were all dumped while Daniel keeps getting frontburner stories. I don't mind the character of Daniel. I just hate how everyone in Salem keeps pushing him as the greatest thing since sliced bread. That is not at all what we have seen of the character onscreen. I've never liked Jennifer though I can see how others did. But Jennifer has been damn near ruined ever since she was paired with Daniel. I'd love to know what the producers and writers see in this couple that I don't see. Right now I really want to see Daniel cheat with Chloe after she returns. Maybe that will end this absurd pairing once and for all.
